ApproveThis manages your Dubble Integration approvals.

When Process Police Meet Documentation Dynamos

Let’s get real – most companies between 50-5,000 employees aren’t struggling because their teams are lazy. They’re drowning in the overhead of proving they’re not lazy. Enter the ApproveThis and Dubble integration via Zapier: where airtight process meets documentation that doesn’t make your eyes glaze over.

ApproveThis handles the bureaucratic heavy lifting – multi-step approvals, conditional routing, automatic escalations. Dubble does something magical – it watches how your team actually works and turns those actions into usable guides. Together? You get approval workflows that don’t bottleneck progress and documentation that’s actually tied to real operations.

Think of it as quality control meets tribal knowledge capture. A manufacturing team gets parts specs approved while automatically creating assembly guides. HR pushes updated policies live the second compliance signs off. Customer support documents new troubleshooting steps while getting legal approval on the messaging.

Why This Combo Doesn’t Just “Work” – It Actually Solves Shit

Most integrations are just data handoffs. This one closes loops that normally require babysitting:

For the Process Nerds

ApproveThis brings structure without the rigidity. Approval thresholds mean small expenses auto-approve while big ones get CFO eyes. Calculated fields let you do things like auto-flag guide updates that exceed change impact thresholds. Vacation delegation stops approvals from piling up because Karen from legal decided to unplug in Bali.

For the Documentation Diehards

Dubble’s secret sauce is creating guides people want to use. Instead of stale SOPs, you get click-by-click walkthroughs with actual screenshots from your tools. But here’s the kicker – when you connect it to ApproveThis, those guides become part of your compliance fabric. Every update gets reviewed, every new process gets sign-off, without creating document management hell.

Real-World Use Cases That Don’t Suck

1. The “Stop Publishing Unapproved Guides” Protocol

Problem: Marketing teams adding unvetted campaign guides. IT pushing unreviewed KB articles. Chaos ensues.

Fix: Zapier triggers an ApproveThis request whenever Dubble detects new guides added to collections. Approvers get the guide content + change history in their approval dashboard. No ApproveThis license needed for external reviewers – clients or contractors can approve via email.

Who Cares: Healthcare orgs needing HIPAA-compliant patient guides. Manufacturers updating assembly line SOPs.

2. The “We Changed Stuff – Now What?” Workflow

Problem: Updated guides living in limbo between teams. Legal hasn’t signed off, but support is already using them.

Fix: Any Dubble guide edit automatically kicks off an ApproveThis review chain. Use calculated fields to flag changes exceeding 20% content impact for exec review. Approval groups ensure compliance + department heads sign off in parallel.

Who Cares: Financial services firms updating compliance protocols. SaaS companies iterating feature documentation.

3. The “Approved? Ship It” Automation

Problem: Approved guides collecting digital dust instead of being deployed.

Fix: When ApproveThis sends an approval confirmation, Zapier automatically pushes the guide to Dubble collections. Add conditional logic – only publish to external client portals after legal approval thresholds are met.

Who Cares: Agencies managing client-facing playbooks. Franchises rolling out updated operational guides.

4. The “Denied? Here’s Why” Paper Trail

Problem: Rejected changes disappearing into Slack voids with zero accountability.

Fix: Denied ApproveThis requests trigger Dubble to version-control the rejected guide and notify authors with specific feedback. All comments sync back to Dubble’s activity log for audit trails.

Who Cares: Public companies needing SOX compliance. Government contractors with strict doc control.

Setup That Won’t Make You Want to Strangle Zapier

1. Connect the dots: Create a Zapier account if you’re among the 3 people who don’t have one yet.

2. Pick your trigger: Start with Dubble events like “Guide Content Changed” or ApproveThis triggers like “Request Approved.”

3. Map the important bits: Link Dubble guide IDs to ApproveThis request fields. Pro tip: Use ApproveThis’ custom fields to pass along Dubble metadata like edit timestamps.

4. Test like you mean it: Reject a test guide approval to ensure Dubble versions it. Approve another to confirm publishing.

5. Scale the pain away: Clone your Zap across departments – HR for policy guides, IT for KB articles, product for release docs.

Who Gets Their Life Changed (Beyond the Obvious)

Customer Support Teams

New troubleshooting guides get legal approval before going live. Denied requests auto-flag areas needing compliance training.

Mergers & Acquisitions

Standardize documentation across newly acquired companies with approval gates ensuring adherence to parent company standards.

Field Operations

Technicians submit equipment guides via Dubble, triggering ApproveThis checks by safety officers. Approved guides auto-publish to mobile knowledge bases.

Why This Isn’t Just Another “Integration”

Most approval tools treat documentation as attachments to review. ApproveThis + Dubble via Zapier bakes compliance into the actual creation process. It’s the difference between checking a box and building quality control into your team’s DNA.

Bonus points? ApproveThis doesn’t require approvers to have Dubble logins. Clients, contractors, or executives can review and approve guides via email without getting access to your full documentation suite. Less security risk, fewer SaaS seats to pay for.

Cool, But Does It Actually Work?

Let’s get specific:

Scenario: A fintech startup updates their KYC (Know Your Customer) guide in Dubble after regulatory changes.

Automation: Dubble triggers ApproveThis to route the update to compliance (mandatory), legal (if >15% content change), and CTO (if technical impact score >8/10).

Result: Guide goes live 83% faster than old email-based reviews. All feedback is documented for auditors. Version control shows exact approval timestamps.

Getting Started Without the BS

1. Grab an ApproveThis trial – takes 3 minutes.

2. Bookmark Dubble if you’re still documenting processes with screen recordings and hope.

3. Build your first Zap in under 15 minutes using pre-built templates. We recommend starting with the “Approve New Dubble Guides” workflow.

Pro tip: Use ApproveThis’ email approvals for clients or execs who think login portals are where productivity goes to die.

The Bottom Line for Teams That Ship

Approvals aren’t about control – they’re about velocity. When you remove the friction between doing work and getting it sanctioned, teams move faster with fewer errors. Add Dubble’s ability to turn actual work into documentation, and you’ve got a system that scales beyond sticky notes and all-hands meetings.
